EFG Hermes has officially expanded its capital market operations in the UAE by introducing new liquidity provision and market-making services on the Dubai Financial Market (DFM). By joining the exchange’s dedicated market-maker program, the firm aims to boost trading activity through continuous two-sided quotations. This strategic initiative is designed to narrow bid-ask spreads, improve order book depth, and facilitate more accurate price discovery, ultimately making the DFM more accessible and efficient for both retail and institutional investors.

Leadership at both EFG Hermes and the DFM have lauded the move as a major step toward maturing the regional financial ecosystem. DFM’s Chief Operating Officer, Khalifa Rabba, noted that the addition strengthens Dubai’s status as a premier global capital markets hub by inviting more institutional liquidity into the fold. For EFG Hermes, the launch leverages their advanced electronic trading infrastructure to ensure reliable execution, further cementing their role in connecting global investors with regional opportunities while supporting the long-term growth of the UAE’s financial sector.
